ᐰbout

Versions

Well, currently there are two versions: Stargate-Generator and Stargate-Material-Creator. If you have Stargate-Generator, you do not need to use any other versions.

• Stargate-Generator creates a Cylinder and a few empty Materials. Then it applies some nodes to the Mesh and there is a Stargate!
• Stargate-Material-Creator creates the Needed Shaders, and if you want it applies it to the Current object.
• Stargate-Geometry-Creator will be released next.

History

I got the Idea to creata a Stargate-Generator ᐰddon for Blender when I created this by hand :

This image is rendered with Cycles X in Blender 3.0. When i say the Original Gate, i mean this Gate. When I say the TV-Gate I mean the Gate wich appears in the TV-Show.

Nodes

Shader Nodes

The Original Gate had this Node tree: Sorry, but this Image is in german.

Here is an image of my node tree ( from the Original gate ):

Geometry Nodes

Here is the first result of my Gemetry Nodes: You can also use Icospheres as Chevrons. then there will be a new feature!

Gravitational Fields

With Geometry Nodes I created the Illusion that the Chevrons are floating on top of the Stargate. This Function can also be used to create/destroy the Gate. Here is a video of this Effect.
